====== The First Ever Film Buff's Movie Scavenger Hunt On-Line Event ======
//**The First Ever Film Buff's Movie Scavenger Hunt On-Line Event**// was an online movie trivia activity hosted by [[gregg]] on the [[heinetwork]] from June 27 to September 3, 2024.

The scavenger hunt was presented in nine weekly installments, in which Gregg would appear at a filming location for a certain movie (similar to [[onlocation]]) and introduce a trivia question to the viewers. The first six questions were multiple choice, and the letters of the correct answers constituted a code for the participants to unscramble. The final three questions consisted of fill-in-the-blank answers. Contestants were only allowed one answer attempt every 24 hours.

The first contestant to correctly answer the Week 9 clue won a Grand Prize, a collectable flour sifter prop from the //Ma & Pa Kettle// films. In addition, all participants were entered into a random drawing for three signed VHS tapes from the [[vfa]], and earned a Popcorn Badge next to their names on the HEI Network.

===== Controversy =====
The answers for weeks 8 and 9 aroused indignation among users on the HEI Network and external message boards, due to the required answers' incorrect punctuation. 

[[tim]], in an article on the HEI Network entitled "A Warning to Gregg [Turkington]," described the scavenger hunt as a "big waste of [t]ime" and a misuse of HEI Network resources.[(cite:heiarticle>[[https://www.heinetwork.tv/article/a-warning-to-gregg-turnkigton/|A Warning to Gregg Turnkington.
